　　C6[2012·重庆卷]

　　There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot. ” And she didn't even go fishing.

　　Scotland is not easily defined.

　　In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold.

　　As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.

　　Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1343­metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all­important source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh ” or “water of life”； and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland's best known drink：whisky.

　　64. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that ________.

　　A. the Queen is rich in tour experience

　　B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland

　　C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing

　　D. 1873 is a special year for the Queen

　　65. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

　　A. By giving descriptions.

　　B. By following time order.

　　C. By analyzing causes.

　　D. By making comparisons.

　　66. What is Ben Nevis special for?

　　A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

　　B. The beauty of its surroundings.

　　C. The water from the mountain.

　　D. The challenge up to its top.

　　67. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.

　　B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

　　C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.

　　D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

　　【要点综述】该篇材料介绍了苏格兰Inverlochy Castle的迤逦风光，既有地理风光，又有人文情怀。其写作目的是向读者介绍这里的风土人情，吸引游客观光游览。

　　64. B　推理判断题。引用维多利亚女王的故事目的是提升其城堡的名望。

　　65. A　推理判断题。该段首句Scotland is not easily defined(苏格兰很难定义)明示，该段材料使用的是白描的手法，即通过详尽的描述来说明此地风光无限。

　　66. C　细节理解题。短文最后一段直接说明Ben Nevis的特产——酿造上等威士忌的优质水源。

　　67. B　写作意图题。该篇材料不惜笔墨描述Inverlochy Castle及其附近的风光，其目的显而易见：招揽游客。

　　Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

　　No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we wound never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

　　There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

　　(2011·西城二模，B)

　　Count Me Out

　　Call me old­fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but refuse to become part of this new Internet world.

　　I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually，I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or，if the matter was of world­shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.

　　Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do it when they are seeking a cure for their illness?

　　There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn't interest me；I have been happily married for 60 years. There are，of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.

　　And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm，” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness’. In other words，the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”

　　If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude about conjurers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.

　　本文描述了一位老人对电脑和网络的态度。

　　5．What's the meaning of the title “Count Me Out” ?

　　A. Get me out of the Internet world.

　　B. Computers are trying to take control of life.

　　C. Modern technology pushes old people away.

　　D. Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.

　　答案：D。主旨大意题。由首、尾段可知答案。

　　6．According to Paragraph 2，the author thinks computers are ________.

　　A. unnecessary

　　B. convenient

　　C. expensive

　　D. advanced

　　答案：A。推理判断题。由第二段可知，作者认为多少年来没有电脑也一样什么都能做到，认为没有必要使用电脑。故选A。

　　7．What might the author like about the future computer?

　　A. Taking blames.

　　B. Curing illnesses.

　　C. Delivering messages. D. Responding to emotions.

　　答案：A。推理判断题。由尾段尾句“As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.”可推知A项正确。

　　C6[2012·重庆卷]

　　To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians(基督教徒) have ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil (邪恶的). So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.

　　What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake，a plant that was thought to have come from Hell (地狱). What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried­up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.

　　Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most_of_the_Western_people_continued_to_drag_their_feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well­known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father's house had been the “introduction of this wonderful new fruit—or is it a vegetable？” As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”.

　　But in the end tomatoes carried the day.The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820，people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “What are you afraid of？” he shouted. “I'll show you fools that these things are good to eat！”Then he bit into the tomato.Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story，set up a tomato­canning factory.

　　68. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ________.

　　A. it made Christians evil

　　B. it was the apple of Eden

　　C. it came from a forbidden land

　　D. it was religiously unacceptable

　　69. What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?

　　A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down.

　　B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato.

　　C. The tomato was still refused in most western countries.

　　D. Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato.

　　70. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?

　　A. To make himself a hero.

　　B. To remove people's fear of the tomato.

　　C. To speed up the popularity of the tomato.

　　D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory.

　　71. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A. To challenge people's fixed concepts of the tomato.

　　B. To give an explanation to people's dislike of the tomato.

　　C. To present the change of people's attitudes to the tomato.

　　D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence.

　　【要点综述】本文介绍了西红柿被欧洲人视为禁果而长期受到敌视的历史渊源，而文章最后叙述的第一位在公众面前食用该禁果的先贤Robert Johnson的壮举则让西红柿红遍全球。

　　68. D　细节理解题。第一段先谈及苹果被基督教徒视为禁果，而和苹果外观极为相似的西红柿一样被欧洲人排斥。

　　69. C　推理判断题。该句前半部分中的ignore一词明示西红柿被视为禁果的现实，而该段最后一句则强化了对此论断的佐证。

　　70. B　推理判断题。从勇士Robert Johnson对公众的质问句 “What are you afraid of？”及“I’ll show you fools that these things are good to eat！”中可见其壮举的目的是为了让人们摒弃对西红柿的恐惧及偏见。

　　71. C　写作意图题。短文前半部分介绍了西红柿被视为禁果的原因，而最后一段则记录了Robert Johnson食用所谓禁果的壮举，其写作目的是介绍人们对西红柿态度转变的历史过程。
